In an era of consumer-centric healthcare, the consumer perception will dictate what, why, how, who they want to interact with. Demand insights on how people do their research about medical problems, and subsequently, identifying criteria for medical travel, evaluation of type of cost packages and decision-making timelines will be further explored.

By understanding consumer specific needs, perceptions, and desires, and mapping them to develop and customize medical travel is critical for the industry to grow and increase awareness as well as its adoption rate. It is important that medical providers, medical tourism clusters, and governments trying to participate in medical travel industry, align their healthcare solutions by understanding the nature of demand and develop specific program to meet consumer needs.

The session will cover topics such as the future of the global healthcare industry in dealing with supply and demand in the medical tourism industry. Understanding supply chain and establishing sustainable infrastructure are essential to determine how the demand will help in developing sustainable business practices. The session will offers guidance and information to established medical providers as well as new entrepreneurs in this field.
